You don\u2019t want a piece to be too small that it gets lost in a space, or too big that it dominates the room. Adding furniture of similar shapes can create harmony and balance, whereas adding too many differing forms can appear confusing and cluttered.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Plan space for easy access:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Planning your space will define the way guests move around your holiday home.

As the largest piece of furniture in the room and the one that will see the most use, it is paramount to choose the right piece. Together with comfort, you\u2019ll want to think about the size and shape of the room, how many people you need to seat and where in the room the sofa will go. Consider removable, washable covers for sofas and armchairs, to make cleaning and maintenance easier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Coffee table:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> After seating, the coffee table is another central piece of furniture for your holiday let\u2019s living area, providing a great place to put drinks and store TV remotes, books and magazines. Sometimes your living room may not have the right layout for a coffee table but having side tables conveniently close to any seating will work just as well. It\u2019s worth making sure your table is easy to clean and that you provide coasters to prevent glass stains.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Soft furnishings:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Soft furnishings are a quick and easy way to add personality to a living room, and can instantly change the look and feel of this communal area.

Whether you have a dedicated dining room or open plan kitchen\/diner, furnishing a dining area for guests should make them feel at home and comfortable in a place where they want to spend time together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Dining room essentials<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Dining table:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A dining table is the centrepiece to the room and will see plenty of use over time \u2013 it\u2019s where guests will eat, socialise and play games. Having the right fit and style for the room is essential, but most importantly it needs to cater for the number of guests your property hosts, and be suitably sturdy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Chairs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dining chairs can totally transform your dining area and are key to creating a comfortable and inviting environment for guests. There are plenty of different options of dining chairs, in a variety of styles and prices to suit all needs, but the optimal choice should always focus on quality and comfort. Having additional cushions is a way to not only provide extra comfort, but a feature accent.<\/span><\/p>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom: 32px;\" open=\"open\">\n<summary style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>See more tips for furnishing a dining room here<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/summary>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A large pendant light or chandelier works best hung above the centre of the dining table, but consider a dimmable light switch so you can drop the brightness down to a warm glow during dinner parties.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A clever solution to maximise space is to have a table with extendable leaves which can easily be closed up or opened out, especially if your property is suited for varied group sizes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For smaller areas, a bench or fitted settle seating with cushions can prove a great space saving solution.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing place mats and coasters for glasses will not only create a stylish interior but contribute to a wonderful dining atmosphere. Perhaps include a tablecloth or runner as a way to keep the table looking fresh and prevent it from being damaged by stains and spills.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n<h3 id=\"kitchen\"><b>The best way to furnish and fully equip a kitchen<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30616\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/04\/How-to-furnish-a-holiday-let-kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"How to furnish a holiday let kitchen\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The kitchen is referred to as the \u2018heart of a home\u2019 and is often the busiest room in a holiday let. Furnishings and equipment must be functional and welcoming for guests, creating an enjoyable space to cook meals, make snacks and spend time together.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Kitchen furniture essentials<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Cabinets and worksurfaces:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These items form the structure of your kitchen. The focus should be on having good quality cabinets and worksurfaces that will withstand the test of time. Kitchens can be expensive to renovate and furnish but if you\u2019re savvy you could save a fortune. If the cabinets are in good condition, then why not simply revamp them with new doors or repaint them?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cooker:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Whether it\u2019s gas, electric or induction, your cooker is one of the most important and frequently used components of a holiday cottage kitchen. Whichever you choose, you need something that will last without needing major repairs over time and provide safe, efficient cooking for guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Fridge\/freezer:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Another essential in the kitchen, the choice of which is often down to the size and space you have available. If you are limited for space, a fridge with a small icebox will most likely work best, but larger properties catering for more guests will benefit from a larger fridge and separate freezer. Having a fridge with a water dispenser and ice maker will always be a welcomed luxurious extra for guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Kitchen flooring: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a high-traffic area like the kitchen using \u2018luxury vinyl tile\u2019 (LVT), tiles or slate is advisable. Avoid using lino or flooring that will wear easily. Adding washable mats and rugs allows you to add a bit of warmth and texture to the flooring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Microwave and dishwashers: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arguably these two items are now classed as essentials in any holiday property. After all, guests naturally expect the same luxuries as they would have in their own home. Both items can be standalone or can be incorporated into the design of the kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Washing machine and dryer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These items are standard in any home and will be a welcome addition to any holiday let. Having the facilities to wash and dry muddy gear or sandy towels will mean guests don\u2019t have to pack as much clothing or worry about running out of things to wear!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additions like washing machines, microwaves, dishwashers and tumble dryers are all really important features to consider furnishing your holiday let if you intend to make it a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/creating-a-child-friendly-holiday-home\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">child friendly holiday home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom: 32px;\" open=\"open\">\n<summary style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Discover more tips on furnishing your holiday let kitchen here<br \/>\n<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/summary>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure your property provides plenty of cutlery, crockery and glasses, a good range of pots and pans, and a selection of utensils including a potato peeler, pizza cutter, corkscrew and garlic crusher to name a few.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A nice extra in addition to the essential list of appliances and equipment is a coffee machine. There are many stylish and inexpensive options on the market that are reliable and make the perfect cuppa with the touch of a button.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Providing Champagne flutes adds an element of luxury, rather than offering wine glasses for both wine and fizz options. For such a small cost, this simple gesture can go a long way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your kitchen allows it, consider having a breakfast nook or island unit with chairs, where guests can gather with a cup of tea in the morning or socialise while cooking.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your holiday home is geared for entertaining, perhaps include a TV or Bluetooth speakers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n<h3 id=\"bedroom\"><b>How to furnish a holiday let bedroom<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/04\/How-to-furnish-a-holiday-let-bedroom.jpg\" alt=\"How to furnish a holiday let bedroom\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every bedroom in your holiday let should be a refuge from the world, a place where guests can retreat to in the evening and wake up rejuvenated in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Bedroom furniture essentials<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Beds and mattresses: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comfortable beds with high quality mattresses are one of the most important factors in ensuring a good guest experience. Beds in your holiday property are the single most important investment when it comes to guests\u2019 comfort, and whilst mattresses are very subjective, generally a medium-to-firm mattress is preferable, on a sturdy, quality bed base. Using a good mattress protector and topper that can be easily laundered or replaced will protect your investment and make it easy to keep clean and fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The size of bed you have will naturally depend on the available space in the property. However, where possible, a larger size bed will allow the opportunity for guests to stretch out in comfort. You can also make your accommodation more flexible and versatile by installing zip-and-link beds, giving guests the option of two single beds or one super king-size bed, depending on their needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another great option for guest bedrooms is bunk beds, particularly for children. They are a good way to offer additional sleeping space, especially in smaller rooms where otherwise you may have only fitted one single bed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To really maximise space, consider a day bed or sofa bed which can double up as seating during the day but then offer further occasional sleeping space during the evening. There are many options and styles available, so you are sure to find something which fits the look of your property.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>High quality bed linen: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having crisp, good quality bed linen makes the world of difference. High thread count, pure cotton bed linen is the ideal choice for your holiday let and an easy way to add a touch of five-star luxury. Neutral colours look great and can be accented with complementing colours to match your room theme. An added benefit of single colour bedding is that you can replace individual items if they need updating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Coast &amp; Country Cottages, we offer the unique service of having an in-house luxury linen hire and laundry service, which means you are guaranteed high-quality bed linen that is of an excellent standard and updated regularly, eliminating any quality concerns. Using our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/travel-lite-salcombe.html\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Travel Lite<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> service also avoids the initial cost of supplying multiple sets of bedding and towels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bedding and pillows:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Guests want to wake up every morning refreshed and ready for their holiday, so to add to a superior sleep experience, soft comfortable pillows and duvet are an essential. During colder months, you may want to provide extra blankets that guests can help themselves to. Using mattress, duvet and pillow protectors will keep your bedding cleaner and even last longer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bedside table and lamp<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Include a bedside table on either side of the bed to store mobile phones, books and glasses of water. Add a bit of illumination for reading or create some ambience by including a table lamp, which can be turned on when overhead lighting is off.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cupboards and drawers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ensure guests have enough space to unpack and store clothing, rather than having to live out of a suitcase. Provide cupboards with hanging space and shelves, or a chest of drawers to keep the bedroom neat and tidy. Storage is often at a premium in a holiday let, so things like clever under bed storage, additional hanging space with pegs on the wall or a hook behind a door help guests to settle in and feel at home.<\/span><\/p>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom: 32px;\" open=\"open\">\n<summary style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Click here for more tips on furnishing a bedroom in your holiday let<\/b><\/span><\/strong><\/summary>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If space is an issue, a divan tends to take up less room than a bed frame, as they normally have the same dimensions as the mattress and are a compact solution for smaller rooms.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to the obvious, a top contributor to a great night\u2019s sleep is a quiet, dark room.

Considering that it\u2019s a room where everyone will spend a fair amount of time, it\u2019s important to think carefully about how it\u2019s furnished and equipped! Most importantly, as far as the property allows, it\u2019s advisable to plan for a healthy ratio of bathrooms to bedrooms.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Bathroom essentials<\/b><\/h4>\n<p><b>Shower and bath:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The size of your bathroom will naturally affect the type of furniture you can purchase. Having a good, standalone shower, with decent water flow is generally what most guests will prefer. Having a bath is great, but where there\u2019s a lack of space, opting for a shower will cater to the needs of most guests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mirror:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No bathroom would be complete without a mirror. It serves multiple purposes beyond helping guests look their best \u2013 it can also play a big part in making the bathroom instantly feel spacious. As an extra touch, try putting a little hand mirror on the shelf for easy access and touch ups, or secure a retractable vanity mirror to the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Storage:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It\u2019s important to include various solutions for guests to store toiletries. The addition of a mirrored wall cabinet or shelving options for guests to use will prevent the bathroom from becoming cluttered.<\/span><\/p>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom: 32px;\" open=\"open\">\n<summary style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\"><b>Click here for additional tips on furnishing a bathroom<\/b><\/summary>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The basics that guests will expect to find are a bin, soap and a toilet brush.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider including hand wash or hand sanitising dispensers at every sink as a convenient way to keep hands clean.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to have at least one hand towel and one bath towel per guest.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small extra touches like a hand cream dispenser at the sink, cotton wool and even some bubble bath for a relaxing soak will be appreciated.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leaving cleaning products for guests to use is always advisable.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include power outlets for electric toothbrushes and shavers.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/details>\n<h3 id=\"outdoor\"><b>Furnishing your outdoor living area<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.coastandcountry.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2021\/04\/How-to-furnish-a-holiday-let-outdoor-area.jpg\" alt=\"How to furnish a holiday let outdoor area\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your holiday home has a garden or outdoor area, it\u2019s as important to furnish it as it is for any room of the house.
